Good Day

Good late morning! I hope your day has had a great start. The kids are now officially out of school and both are moving on to the next grade. YAY!!! I was really stressing over Leesha but her teacher and I decided not to hold her back (this would have been the second retention for her). We started the "process" of getting her tested for a learning disability but that might take awhile to get her actually tested. She's just going to have to work harder next year and keep up with her website that I have her on.

Thanks again for looking and I'm sure that I'll have some crafting goodies for ya later today!

http://nutcrafters-nutshells.blogspot.com/ I just thought I'd share this! I love looking around on blogs :)

Here's the card I made for Andi, Robby and Leesha's bus driver. She's such a wonderful person and the kids just adore her :) Yellow paper is from hobby lobby, black cardstock is from hollow's, the school buses are cut from a bus paper my mother-in-law gave me from Pat Catan's a few years ago, star driver is cut from the cricut using my doodletype cart, I added the white polka dots to the black cardstock with my white gel pen, glitter (hang on I have to go clean up cat upchuck YUCK!) ok and the star ( I was horrible at putting the name on the boxes so I have no idea what set it's from) are both from stampin up, I stamped the star using versa mark, added heat and stick powder then added the glitter.
Enjoy looking!!!

A Proverbs 31 woman

I love this http://www.thechristianwoman.com/christian-women-topics/things-not-in-proverbs-31.html Please check it out. Some really good insight on what kinda qualities us women are to have.

get well

I've been having a lousy mood today so I finished up the get well cards that I needed to make.

The top one is for our friend Anita, she's having gallbladder surgery on Wednesday. Please say a prayer for her. I made it from stampin up card stock (not sure what name), the stamp is from hobby lobby and the ribbon is from joann fabric.

The middle card is made for the gentleman Charlie works with. Paper is from hobby lobby and the stamp is from stampin up (loads of love I think is the name). I drew the stitching with black gel pen.

The last card is for my aunt who had gallbladder surgery on Saturday. Paper from hobby lobby, stamp is stampin up doodle this,buttons and ribbon are stampin up also. I used my cotton candy stickle in the center of the petals. ENJOY!

Wanted to share

This is a card that I made for my friend Denise who is graduating from college June 12. CONGRATULATIONS NISE!!! She loves purple and I thought spongebob went well with it. I hard time finding a graduation cap so I just punched out a square and added some thread. I've had these papers for awhile so I'm not sure where they came from SORRY! Oh by the way I was looking through my collection of stamps last night trying to find something that would work as a get well card for a man and I found a cap stamp DUH!! N C S stands for north central state college. She majored in paralegal.

UGHH! and other things

Well this morning I sat down to fiqure out the finances, man do I hate bills. It's going to be tight this month but we'll manage, God will make sure of that! :) Everytime I pay a bill that I just didn't see any possibility paying that week I praise God cuz I know if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have been able to pay it. Charlie's job is such a God send that I feel horrible and ungrateful when I mess up the finances. I just feel like I'm telling God that I don't appreciate what he's givin' us but I do, I know that we could be having it alot worse and the He is keeping that devil at bay. I also know that since we are trying very hard that he will try to knock us down even more. Please pray that we don't give into his snares! This has been laying on me since yesturday and I need to say something. I know last weekend was memorial day but we didn't go to church, yesturday at church they showed the pictures of the veterans and current military men and women, our pastor was saying that memorial day is about show all military respect, my thought was "how are we showing respect when this country that our military has fought for and still protecting today is in the shape that it's in? They did not and do not fight wars for us to treat our country the way we have." Our lost soldiers fought for freedom for us but to misuse what we have and it's sad to know that we all have put this country and ourselves in danger.

On another note, there are some prayer requests: 3 gentlman that Charlie works with have some health issues, 1 is in the hospital now and we don't know what's wrong with him so pray that everything is ok there, 1 just got out of the hospital last week (I requested prayer for him a week or so ago)he had a blood vessel burst in his head which caused his nose to keep bleeding he's suppose to return to work on thursday so pray that he's recovering correctly, the other one I also asked for a prayer, he had quite abit of infection drained from his groin area a couple of weeks ago but he's still not feeling good, he goes for a ultra sound tomorrow so please pray that it turns out to be something simple. These are really good fellas who care alot about people and they need some protection. Thank you.

Have a blessed day!
